Established in 1960 as a non-profit organization, the MSU Foundation has partnered with Midwestern State University to manage and invest private gifts that benefit the university. Gifts to the MSU Foundation create scholarships, enhance opportunities for students in and out of the classroom, advance faculty endeavors and capital projects.
The MSU Foundation manages endowed funds totaling about $92 million dollars. The investments are pooled but represent more than 260 separate donor funds with individual gift agreements between the university and the donor. The MSU Foundation accepts both current use gifts and endowments and works closely with the University to generate this private support from alumni and friends.
The University is a state-assisted institution but private philanthropy provides the funds necessary to attract and retain the finest students and faculty to MSU Texas. This monetary support provides much of the financial aid many of our students require to reach their educational goals.
